    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Book arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.

  • How to quit living paycheck to paycheck, and get what you really want out of life.

    Four rules and some great software to become a great Master Money Manager! Of course, you need to add your own determination to do so, but the better mindset and tools are available. 1. Give every dollar a job. (Make your money serve YOUR will, rather than someone else's, or your whims.) 2. Embrace your true expenses. (i.e. Don't forget the expenses that are not immediate) 3. Roll with the punches. (Be flexible. Make needed adjustments along the way) 4. Age your money. (Move out of paycheck to paycheck living. It's too stressful) .
